At this point tb 0 ombesslemeot bid its origin. The following qosr ler inonued tie deficit to $17,837.98, and it oon tbraed to regularly increase every quarter, saving the last of 1858, and the first two of 1857. until the 'final exposure. On the 30th Jubo, 1857, it had reeehed $23,030 88. This was adjusted by a special -deposit of $20,000,' on the Bth Angost, 1858, which,’ with • the! credits for olerk hire, Ac., htltesed the account end left $1,999.19 to Mr. Fowiun’s credit. This settlement, however, wre feund to be deceptive, inasmuch as in consequence of-this special deposit having been made, the tveokly oneof the eurrent revennes due on ’he day the depoalt was made, (Bth August,) was omitted : so thatyin tact, a deficit equal to nearly a week’s receipts < still, remained. The defalcation now made rapid progress’, the following quarter $40,078.95 were added to it. At the close of Sep tember, to March 31, ,1888, amounted to $185,854 31. Fowl*h’s eash- Itr allcgas the whole deficit to be about $170,000. , The reply to tha.nataral Inquiry as to how the cmbenlementcculd hare existed so long, the Post mastar General says that tha existence and pro gress of the frsud most be sought for In'the failure of the Sixth Auditor to report the eonstanily ra ourriag deMoquenelesof Mr. Fowlsu to the Post !meeter Oaneral.

Tha act {Juiy.2,1638,) providing for the establishment Of snob an ofteer, esys; ”Ha shall , promptly . ,report to the Postmaster General all .delinquencies of postmasters in paying ovarths proceeds, of their offleet. He shall close the ao eoonUof the Department querterly, and transmit todh oSttrrtartfef tho Trtatury quarterly state tnssts pf Its reeelpU and axpaUdltnres.” Several letters from the Auditor state tha grounds of his responsibility, and the third as elltnotpf the Postmaster General sots forth the podtiyu taken by the Department. The former is understood to oeoupy two positions: first, that a knowledge of the delinquencies of deposit offi cers—to which , class that of New ' Fork belong#—is not chargeable upon his offioo; and,second,;, thet a regulation , cf the Department so modified his. duty under tha general tow as to absolve him from the obligation of reporting suoh, delinquencies to the Postmaster General. ' Tka laat-named offlcial is surprised at tha podtion of.the.Sixth Auditor, who, not withstanding; tha declaration of the statute, argues that it ie not .in the ordinary oonrse the administration of his office to rsndor quarterly aeeounts, and that Mr, Fowlbr’s ao eonbt npon (he ]edger ”wM an. open and ran sing account, wherein debits and eredito were per petually .occurring, and no balances were other wise adjusted thsn for the mere purpose of making lists and furnishing copies thereof, from tim* to time,,as they were eaUed.for.!’ Mr. Holt be lieves.the poitpy of, the Government, in every b renoh,to look to a quarterly settlement of accounts Be this as it may, be thinks it .from, the Auditor’s own showing, that the fitJMto of Mr. Fpwisn, which were indicated from WMar.to quarter during several years, all nppear *d jhr™gh the debi;s and credits “ posted” o pj n J?®’ “ntp* the two for the six months previous to ' thsdfsc ovary. It is also-evident, that when the In this “rnnoingaco'oont,” on the 15th November, 1858, U.was known to tho Auditor that Fowler vu a defaulter to the amount of $76- 87186 up to September 30, 1858.

V. Brown, previous to the accession of -Mr. Holt. After a careful exemina. tion, the impression prevails that there was negli gent oh the part of the late Third Postmastet General in his supervision of the weekly deposits. The Postmaster General exculpates his third assistant, He came into office, in March, 1859 since when 11 weekly deposits of. the revenues of the New York post offioe have been regularly made, and generally in amounts, whioh, in oompv riaon with the, average of preceding weeks, and in the absence; of all.suspicion, conld have left no ddhbt in his mind but that the sums deposited faithfully represented the actuarrecelpts.” ; Upon the Sixth Auditor Mr. Ko#r visits the bur den of Toffiolai censure, and so recommends to Con gress to carefully jead the report add documents of whioh this is a condensation. * THE SENATE.

THE. PAOIfIC RAILROAD. This morning the friends of the Paolflc Railroad were in great hopes. The rival interests have, with a few exoeptionß, united on the two Southern and Central routes, whioh generally satisfies the eeotional interests. If Mr SaanUAk can get his appropriation bills through, he will, doubtless, help it through the House, and, as there qan be little disoussioD) it will go through the Senate almost without a division. This would be almost equal to the tariff for our manufactures. NIGHT SESSIONS. A brilliant scene may be witnessed every night, a? the House sits till 11 o’olook P. M., daily.

Mr. Ballade never saw one of those papers, nor does ke know that any were ever used. . i P.

The Japanese Embassy.— The - Naval Commission *nd the, Committee of ConnoUs were particularly busy yesterday in extending to the Japanese the hospitalities of Philadelphia. 'The feature of the entertainment yesterday was the matinee at the Aoademy of Music, of which more will be said hereafter. In the morning they re mained at the hotel— e quads of them, to the number of four or five, paying Visits to Mme of the Chest* and riding out in company with the The crowd which has been eur. rounding the Continental was still there during the day., 'Wherover they went they were received with courtesy and attention—our citizens vicing with eaoh other to do them honor. Yesterday morning, between ten and twelve o’olcck, a kind of informal reception was held by some of the lower officers of the Embassy, in their rooms at the hotel, | A large number of ladies availed tbemeolves of the opportunity to pay their, respects to the Mongo lians. The scene during the reception was of a most bowlldcring and amusing oharaoter. The vi sitors were not allowed into the apartments occu pied by the Princes, who maintained the most studied seolusloh- The different parlors and ante rooms of the Embassy were crowded with ladies, who were profuse In their manifestations of rospect and curiosity. Tho most good-natured- of them found their patience put to an unusuahtest by con stant demands for autographs. Nearly every lady of the assembly bad several sheets of paper or small cards, and would insist, in tbe most bewitching mannor, on obtaining an autographio memonto from such members as were most accessible. Those requests, annoying as they must certainly have been, wero generally complied with with tho most commendable good nature, dne of the Em bassy, evidently profiting by Ms American experi ence, bad a number of autographs prepared be forehand, which he presented the numerous peti tioners. As might nave been expected, tbero were loud andropeated inquiries for.lommy. He kept himself as scoluded as one of tho Prinoes. This as piring and vlvaoious youth seems to have ionned an oxtremely high opinion of himself and his pre sence, and is not eb accessible as hitherto. The company of ladies surprised 'fomnly as he was passing through a corridor, and in a few minutoß he was surrounded by forty or fifty blushing dam sels. Ho shook hands with them very courteously, yet impatiently, an dr as soon as an opportunity of fered, moved off, making a polite bow to his fair friendg, and saying in excellent English, “You wUvTeaso excuse me, I havo business ” Further thWthis Tommy was not visible to the general eyo. The reception lasted for two or throe hours, af ter whioh the rooms wero oleared and tbe Embassy retired to dinner. At two o'clock a deputation, to the number of fifteen or twenty, including the Princes, the inevita bio Tommy, doctors, and officers, entered the oar* rlnges and proceeded to tho of Music in company with some of the naval officers, the com mittee of Counoils, and such other favored friends of the commission as were able to procure plsces in the carriages, tn oao of the carriages we noticed Mr. Wheatley and a couple ot the Japanese. The Academy of Muhio, which we need not say to our readers is ouo of the most magnificent buildings upon this continent, never appeared to better ad* vantage than yesterday afternoon. The chande lier was lighted, and thmstsge was arranged in a manner to display the beautiful soeuery necessary for the illustration of the second aot of “ Luorezia ’Borgia,” which was tho Initial piece of the-per formance. Long before the hour of opening, which was advertised at two o’oloek. five or six hundred people wore congregated in front of the Aoademy, anxiously awaiting admittance. Seats were reserved for the Embassy in front of the bal cony. Tho Princes were in the proscenium box, on the right-hand side of the stage. At half past two o’olook tho Aoademy was filled with a very large audience—the lower portion of the house being orewdod. When the Ambassadors arrived they were greeted with applause. The Princes in the boxes bowed to the assembly in faebor ot the compliment. At a quarter to three o’olook the entertainment with the second aot of Donizetti's opera of “ Luorezia Borgia.” Purodi appeared os Luorezia, Signor Tamsro as Gerna ro , and Signor Nairn! as Pule Alphonso Pre vious to this was the overture to “ WHJiam Tell,” by tho orchestra, including Dodworth’s com pany, with tho full Germania bands. The Ja panese did not appoar to appreciate very highly the beautiful mnsio of tho opera, although the vo calization of the perfprmen; was listened to with much attention. Baokstone’s farce of the “Rough 1 iamond” was performed, with an extraordinary cast to wit: Margery. Mrs John Drew; Lady PfatJf Miss Taylor; Co»mn~Joe % Mr. Clarke; Mr. Dolman; Glenheim, Mr. Gilo, and Lord Plato* Mr. Weltis. They seemed to be much amused with the eccentricities of Mr. Clarke in this exceedingly laughable performance. This was followed hr M’llo Teresa Farodi Binging Star Spangled Banner,” assisted in the chorus by about one hundred atogeta of Mmnaerohor societies. On one side of tho stage stood a represantotio* of a -natlvant Japan, holding the American flag. On the other sure bearing the Japanese colors. Parodl’s singing orvw*Lj* star Bpangled Banner” We' 'need not say was t«. ceived with tumultuous applause, and was en cored. Signor Blitz was the next performer. His feats _of dotuwS—tetcr-- est the Japanese greatly. Every movement of the eccentric and lively magician was closely observed. Mr. W. Wood, of the Arch-street Theatre next appeared In a dance, entitled “The Magic Dance of the Nations,” representing the union of Japan and the United States, and com posed by himself for this oftaslon. The Japanese were especially delighted with’this performance. Mr. Wood was so costumed that while the front part of his body represented a Japanese with the costume of that nation, the back part, with the as sistance of a false-fooo, was so arranged as to re semble an American sailor. The dadden transforma tion of the performer from a Mongolian to an American ter exoited a great deal or merriment. The pantomime of “ Yol-au-Vent,” with Mr. and Miss Wood in tho principal oharaoters, and tho May Pole dance, from tho comedy of “1 he Fast Mon of tho Olden 'lime,” eonoludod tho entertain ment. - If wo£ half past six before the matinee was dosed. The audience wrb particularly delighted with the opportunity otFerod them of observing the Japanese, and ns for as the Amerioan portion of the audience was concerned, they appeared to bo as muoh Interested in tho movements of the tawny eons of tho East H 3 with tho performance on the stage. We notiood that duriog the play the artist of the Embassy was bu*lly engaged in taking sketohes of the scones on tho stago, and the proportions of tho bouse. Tho performance being over, the Embassy departed through the Looust-atroet entrance. Thore was a very large crowd in attendance to witness their exit, and it was only by dint of a greet deni of exertion on tho part of the polioe force in attendance tint they wore enabled tore gain tboir onrrlngoB. Tho arrangements for tho Embassy to-day have not beon made public. We understand that they will visit the Walnut-street Theatre this aftornoon, and witness the performance of tho circus oompany nowat tha t establishment. Tub Firemen’s Tobcjiligiit Procession. —An adjourned meeting of the Board of Fire Di rectors wna held lasi evening to complete tho ar rangements for tho torchlight procession, to take plaoe in honor of the Japanese Embassy the eve ning previous to their departure- The committee of arrangements, appointed at tho last meeting, re ported the following programme: The parade will toko place on Friday evening. 15th Inst.

Last evening, forty oompanies had signified their in* teutiou oi participating ia tho prooessiou. A num ber of the oompanies held meetings last evening, and ethers will meet this evening, so it is probable a tnaoh larger number than this will unite in the prooession At tho ineotlng lest evening Col.

He re commonded that the companies bo formed into platoons or seotions, tho fronts equalized, which,' with the regular and square appearance of tho torches borne in ibis manner, would produce the greatest effect upon tho spectators. These sug gestions will no doubt recaivo the attention of the oommittee of arrangements So far, their plans have been admirable, tho route being one of the best and most sensible that have been adopted for years by tho firemen, who generally make the mistake of adopting u much longer route thAn they oan. got through with comfortably und in good time.
